Customer Review: Awesome Game for Awesome Fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
For years, I have seen this game at the stores and yet it wasn't until now that we decided to give it a try. Wow, we were pleasantly surprised! This game is one of the funnest board games I have played in a while. It is incredibly easy to play. In less than five minutes, we were already having fun. I was amazed that for such a simple Card game, how high the Strategy Factor was. Just like dominoes, almost anyone can play the game but not everyone will actually master it. I can truly say that this is one of the few games that the luck factor doesn't bother me at all. Plus, this is a very flexible group game given that anywhere between 2 to 12 friends can play. If you are searching for a fun, quiet, simple game that requires no overwhelming strategy skills and players from all ages can play together then look no further, you found it. For those interested in more details keep reading:
Game Play - 2 or 3 Players can play individually against each other. If more than 3 are playing then everyone plays in teams up to a maximum of three teams, which will not allow 5, 7 or 11 players able to play. This means that if twelve friends are playing, there will be three teams of four players each. Each team will take turns playing a card and placing a token on the board matching the card played with the attempt to place five of their tokens in a row before their opponents do so. There are two types of Jacks in the game. One can be used as a Wild Card, which will allow you to advance your game or block your opponent. The other allows you to remove any token from the board. One set of five in a row wins the game unless being played by 2 or 4 players, which will require 2 sets of five in row to win.
Strategy vs. Luck - For a card game the Strategy Factor in incredibly high. How and when to play your Jacks, where to play your tokens, should you block or push forward... the decisions you make will bring you sweet victory of sour defeat. Even with the luck factor, skilled players will hardly ever lose to absent-minded amateurs. I would like to add that this is a no-talking game. Any coaching or signaling will result in penalties, Ha!
Awesomeness Factor - As the owner of almost every board game ever made I can assure you that this is a Must Buy for anyone that enjoys having fun. There is a Jumbo Version of this game. I would purchase that one if given the choice, especially if you are planning to play with lager groups.
Awesome game for Awesome fun! Enjoy!
Description of Sequence Game
It's fun, it's challenging, it's exciting, it's Sequence. Play a card from your hand, place a chip on a corresponding space on the game board when you have five in a row, it's a Sequence. Learn to block your opponents - remove their chips. Watch out for the Jacks, they are wild. With a little strategy and luck, you'll be a winner. Contents: Folding Game Board, 2 Decks of Sequence Cards, 135 Playing Chips and Instructions. For 2 or more players, ages 7 and up. Country of Origin: USA or Hong Kong or China.With touches of canasta, rummy, and poker, this game could easily become a Friday-night favorite. The object is to get a "sequence," meaning a row of five poker-like chips on the game board. The board itself depicts lines of face-up playing cards. Players place their "crowning" chips on top of the card pictures, and can form sequences by using strategy and knowing which Sequence cards to keep or discard. Since forethought, luck, and backup plans are the keys to winning, this game is probably too sophisticated for children under 7 years old. (But young ones can team up with adults.) Included are 104 playing cards and 50 crowning chips in each color: red, blue, and green. --Gail Hudson
